Working Bee at Currajong School

Many hands make light work on our Working Bee at Currajong. Our upkeep of the play equipment has been noticed by the school ground inspectors commenting how good the equipment was even though it was 15years old.

Tim's bike ride for the homeless

2,000 kms under his belt, Tim fills us in on his daily plan as he waits for the beautiful morning sun to dry the damp grounds and prepares to make his way to his next destination...

Rotary Chadstone East Malvern would like to thank all of the community groups that submitted a project application to our Community Project Idea campaign. It was wonderful to see the extent of community projects being delivered within our area.

Tracey Farnsworth is a gem! Having sourced 5 refurbished second-hand laptops, we were able to donate to them to the high school teachers at Sna Techo, Cambodia. Some of these teachers have never used a laptop or indeed any form of computer before.

The BusyFeet annual concert held on Sunday 19th November was a roaring success. The children enjoyed dancing to the music including the Wiggles and Grease, to an appreciative audience of parents, carers and Rotarians.

Since May this year, news reports have told of prolonged fighting that has continued between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and rebels in Marawi City. It is reported that more than eighty-four thousand families have been forced to leave their homes.

Getting off a plane in one of the busiest airports in America to be greeted by Rotarians in Fluoro vests was very unusual. This Rotary World Convention we were arriving at was to be Rotary on steroids throughout. Over 130 countries were represented, with over 40,000 Rotarians attending, and so many of them from African and Indian nations. Hundreds of Filipinos, and 26 Aussies from District 9800. Registering for the convention at the airport made life easy and that set the tone for the hospitality.
